| Imaging problem, or lack thereof...any ideas I had the same problem when using the PS3 as a source. I find its image weak at best, tilted on top and weak bass performance. | |
| Good preamp for under $300 Whats the difference between the Pro 10MC and the CS 115? | |
| Audio Research and Aragon Kenscollick, I appreciate the response but the LS3 is actually a solid state preamp. Also I was previously running an audible illusions L-1 tubed pre with the aragon and never had any signs of shutting down. But I am just looking for something dif... | |
| Best solid state power amp for $1k Nighthawk, I think you hit the nail on the head with the speakers. I was focused on the pre and didnt give the speakers enough attention. Good call. | |
| Best solid state power amp for $1k Nighthawk, my basis for recommending an aragon or a mccormack were based on the original posters equipment. He is using a tubed pre. Now what you end up with is a warm mid and a much softer high end with plenty of punch. Also if he decides to sell... | |
| Best solid state power amp for $1k There was alot of press years ago between the McCormack DNA 1 and the Aragon 4004MK II. Half of the reviewers at stereophile chose the McCormack the other half the Aragon. For your listening preferences of jazz and classical i think McCormack is t... | |
| Carver Pro ZR1600 I hear Phoenix Gold and i automatically think of car audio. They use to put out some killer car amps in late 80's early 90's.Glad to hear your liking your new amps Eldartford. Are you going to give us a full review sometime? Also some comparisons ... | |
| Preamps for $300 to match with B&K st-140? Unsound, i dont know that i follow your reasoning on the Audible Illusions paired with the ST 140. The B&K has an input impedance of 24.3 kohms and the audible illusions has an output impedance of 600ohms(AI tubes run in parallel thus having t... | |
| Audible Illusions vs. Audio Research? Audible Illusions L-1 works great for a rock system. Has all the characteristics of the ss pre but adds some warmth and air. And easy to change the sound of the pre with swapping of tubes. Actually i have one i am putting up for sale thats in grea... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Eldartford, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3055794170&category=39783#ebayphotohosting seems the price is getting pretty darn reasonable on that new amp you were talking about. | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Actually i have no idea of the benefit of the dual mono design over the stereo design while sharing the same chasis and ac plug. I only brought it up as comparing the 2 amplifiers in question. Common sense tells me there would seem more than likel... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Ritteri, I have never had my top off so i was just going by this quote from Mondial Designs' "The true replacement for the 4004 was the 8008BB. However, the 8008 BB also incoporated 50% more output transistors, twice as much power supply capacitan... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Talk about driving difficult loads take a look at this link and the first amp on their recommended list. http://www.apogeespeakers.totalserve.co.uk/scintilla.htm | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Let me rephrase "dual mono" design. | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Eldartford, the Aragon 4004 mkII does indeed use seperate transformers. IT is a true mono design. |
